7

SYNOPSIS

9       gst123 [OPTIONS] [URIS...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       gst123  is  a command line based media player released as free software
13       under the GNU LGPL.
14

OPTIONS

16       gst123 follows the usual GNU command line  syntax,  with  long  options
17       starting with two dashes ('-').

22
23       -h, --help
24              Shows a brief help message.
25
26
27       -v, --version
28              Prints out gst123 version.
29
30
31       -z, --shuffle
32              Play files in pseudo random order.
33
34
35       -x, --novideo
36              Do not play the video stream.
37
38
39       -@ <playlist>, --list <playlist>
40              Load files to play from the playlist file.
41
42
43       -a, --audio-output <driver>[=<device>]
44              Set  audio output driver (and device). For instance using gst123
45              -a oss ...  would use the oss driver, and  gst123  -a  alsa=hw:1
46              ...  would  use  the  alsa driver with the alsa device hw:1. For
47              JACK support, use -a jack  (device  is  not  supported  in  this
48              case).
49
50
51       --verbose
52              Print GStreamer pipeline used to play files
53
54
55       Besides  filenames, playlist entries or command line args can be direc‐
56       tories. In this case, gst123 recursively  searches  the  directory  and
57       plays all files contained in it.
58

INTERRUPT

60       You can abort gst123 at any time by pressing Ctrl-C. If you are playing
61       multiple files, this will stop the current file and begin  playing  the
62       next  one. If you want to abort playing immediately instead of skipping
63       to the next file, press Ctrl-C within the first second of the  playback
64       of a new file.

CONFIGURATION FILE

104       During  start, gst123 will read ~/.gst123rc, if this file exists. Empty
105       lines and lines starting with a # are ignored. The  following  commands
106       are available:
107
108
109
110
111
112       audio_output <driver>[=<device>]
113              This  sets  the  default audio driver (which may be oss, alsa or
114              jack) and the default audio device (which may be something  like
115              /dev/dsp1 for the oss driver or an alsa device like hw:1 for the
116              alsa driver), and has the same effect as the -a / --audio-output
117              command  line option. When both are present, a config file entry
118              and the command line option, the value  from  the  command  line
119              option will be used.
